<p>New Brunswick\u2019s Fundy Coast has always been a place of movement. The massive tides are so integral to the region\u2019s identity that their ebb and flow defines the character of the place. <\/p><p>St. George has seen more than its fair share of the ebb and flow of people and prospects \u2014 the typical story of incoming trade and riches, followed by dwindling opportunities. But interest has recently returned to St. George, drawn there by an appreciation for non-urban locales of stark natural beauty, affordability, and down-to-earth people. <\/p><p> Photographer Susan Lapides has been visiting St. George for over twenty-five years. Her deep commitment to capturing the character of place is brilliantly matched by her innate sense of composition and colour. Her work testifies to the fact that the everyday can be mesmerizing if we are lucky enough to have the right interpreter behind the lens. In Lapides\u2019s photographs, the dusk cobalt blues of the ocean and sky become symphonic and a windswept cliff with a lighthouse, dog, lacrosse player, and tree appear as powerful and enigmatic as an Edward Hopper painting. <\/p><p>La c\u00f4te de Fundy a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 un lieu de mouvements. Les mar\u00e9es d\u2019une amplitude hors du commun ont marqu\u00e9 l\u2019identit\u00e9 de cette r\u00e9gion du Nouveau-Brunswick, dont le caract\u00e8re s\u2019est forg\u00e9 au gr\u00e9 des vagues. <\/p><p>Il y en a eu, des vagues, \u00e0 St. George! De gens, de perspectives et de fortunes. L\u2019histoire typique d\u2019un essor commercial et de richesses qui abondent, puis d\u00e9clinent. Et voil\u00e0 que St. George suscite un regain d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat notable, aliment\u00e9 par la beaut\u00e9 brute des environs de la ville, des prix abordables et le charme des gens sans pr\u00e9tention. <\/p><p>Susan Lapides fr\u00e9quente St. George depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, appareil photo \u00e0 l\u2019\u0153il. Sa d\u00e9termination \u00e0 saisir la personnalit\u00e9 du lieu n\u2019a d\u2019\u00e9gal que son sens inn\u00e9 de la composition et de la couleur. Ses clich\u00e9s prouvent que le quotidien peut \u00eatre fascinant, pour peu que l\u2019interpr\u00e8te derri\u00e8re la lentille en soit parfaitement conscient. Le bleu cobalt de l\u2019oc\u00e9an et du ciel au cr\u00e9puscule a une nette tonalit\u00e9 symphonique. Le phare, le chien, le joueur de crosse et l\u2019arbre qui animent une falaise balay\u00e9e par le vent \u00e9voquent autant de pr\u00e9sence et de myst\u00e8re qu\u2019un tableau d\u2019Edward Hopper. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
